Better, Best or the VERY best! Lathe Cut Off made EASY!

Several years ago I made what I called a direct mount cut off tool holder. In most cases I never had a problem using it but with some chucks with a lot of overhang I still got chatter. Several people said I needed to build (and do a video) on a spring type holder like the old style Armstrong blade holder. Well, I finally did it and WOW! It works fantastic. I'll do a follow up video in a week or two and post some drawings. I wonder why 80 year old technology like this goes away? I'm amazed.
